200 points!

Another Prague weekend gone- I really think times goes by quicker here.

Highlights of the weekend:

-I spotted my SECOND CZECH MIDGET!! The first one I saw last week. He was a wee little Czech restocking the shelves at my grocery store! Then yesterday I saw an older Czech midget waiting for the very same tram I take to get to the university!

-After 2 weeks of below freezing temps every day and inadequate clothing, I took myself to H&M for some quality Sweedish layers of warmth. Mmmm polyester sweaters.

-Although some promoter in my neighborhood was aggressively advertising a “Vuck Falentines” pub crawl (overpaying for drinks in advance but you get a free tee shirt!), my roommates and I decided to take ourselves on a very Sex and the City valentines date to a bar called Bar Bar, which was amazing. They are known for their crepes- both savory and sweet- and fruity mixed drinks which were also incredible.

-Today I tried laundry again, and found a less smelly but more expensive place that is just as far away and leaves my clothes just as wet. Score!

- A very Czech moment on the tram: a middle aged guy in a very puffy coat kept nodding off in his seat on the night tram. Then the tram went around a corner and the man falls out of his chair into the middle of the aisle. Everyone in the tram turns to stare at him, but no one says anything. Then they all just turn back and face ahead and continue to scowl. How very Czech.

-Tomorrow it is back to Czech class at the ripe hour of 9 am! Wahooo!

Czech word of the day: Zpěvačka (zeh-pya-va-chka)= singer
